STAMFORD -- Police are investigating an early-morning shooting that left three bullets lodged in the floors and walls of a Hanrahan Street house where no one was home at the time of the incident.

"A witness claimed he saw a guy in a hoodie running. They looked around, and initially they didn't see anything. And then they discovered a bullet hole going into one house there," Stamford Police Sgt. Lou Gurliacci said Saturday morning.

The city's fire department forced the door of the home to check for victims. They found none, but police did find an additional two bullets lodged inside the home.

Officers followed the track of the bullet "through the window and through the bedroom wall into the dining room, where it bounced off the ceiling, and went through the wall into the living room," according to the police report.

"It was probably a 9 mm," said Gurliacci. "They have a lot of penetration."

Another two bullets were found lodged in the ceiling of the upstairs bedroom. The man who lives at the address arrived at the scene unharmed a couple hours after the shots had been fired.

"They fired two right into his bedroom. It seems like they know him. They were specific. They weren't just random rounds," said Gurliacci. "They were specifically shooting him and into his bedroom, hoping to catch him in the bed probably."
